The drive through Allen’s Central Business District will soon be much smoother.
On October 13, Allen City Council approved spending $286,227 to rehabilitate six street sections in the historic downtown area, including:
- Austin Drive (from Boyd Drive to Belmont Drive)
- Boyd Drive (from Allen Drive to the US 75 Frontage Road)
- Anna Drive (from Main Street to Coats Drive
- Ash Drive (from Boyd Drive to St. Mary Drive)
- Bonham Drive (from Main Street to Coats Drive)
- Young Drive (from McDermott to the end of the street)
The systematic repair and replacement of aging, cracked, and failing pavement is part of Allen’s ongoing maintenance program. These repairs will begin later this fall, following the U.S. Postal Service’s move to its new Allen location on Century Parkway. Construction is expected to take 2-4 weeks.
